Well, after months of playing Modern Warfare 2 exclusively in special ops and multiplayer, I found myself with some extra free time and decided it was time to give the campaign a go. Since I had beaten nearly all the spec ops on the hardest difficulty with my friend already, I decided to try tackling the campaign on the hardest difficulty. Usually I am a pansy and shy away from the hardest difficulty, playing on either regular or whatever comes between regular and hardest if the game has such a thing, so this is not normal for me. I am by no means a hardcore video game player, and I pretty much suck at them.

Upon starting a game and trying to select the hardest difficulty, the dumb game warned me that I might be making a mistake because it is REALLY hard. I told it that I understood that and was okay with it. Then it asked me if I was sure about that. I told it I was. Then it asked me again if I was really sure about that. And again, now in frustration, I told it I was. I then proceeded to breeze through the entire game on the hardest difficulty with no problems at all. The most difficult and frustrating part of playing it on Veteran was convincing the game to let me play on Veteran and having to click "Okay" through THREE freakin' warning screens!!!
